    Chicken Fried Steak
    Tonyia F.

    Comfort food and inexpensive prices along with generous portions. Old fashioned customer service, Dominic, our waiter was phenomenal. He aimed to please and very attentive as well as courteous. He checked on us often but wasn't overbearing. Hard worker. Hostess was attentive as well, positive attitude. Very personable. Ordered the Beef Tips Jr. Beef tips somewhat tough. Portion was just right, I was hungry for this amount of food without having to worry about not eating it all and having leftovers. Green beans tasted like they were straight from the can and Mac's and cheese tasted straight from a box. Was expecting more homemade sides but I settled for it with no complaints. Chicken fried steak was delicious. You can tell the gravy was homemade from scratch. It was sooo good. Had enough portions to make 2 meals. Butter rolls were divine. Straight out the oven, soft and buttery. I asked for a side of honey and dipped the honey into the butter to make my own whipped concoction. The rolls could've been a meal in itself. Ordered the peach cobbler. For $7 you get a humongous slice with a side of ice cream. The cobbler was rock hard cold, so I brought it home and heated it up in my air fryer to get it hot and made the crust somewhat crispy. Indulged at home. Overall, I was satisfied. I'd definitely return. Each day they have daily specials. Can't wait to try the unlimited catfish on Fridays.

    Kids menu - Mac and cheese, fries and fruits, missing in pic - drink and cookie!

    Food was reasonably priced and service was great. Kids menu had a lot of options. For the adults, you can get 2 entries with 4 sides total for $23. Kids eat free on Thursdays with the purchase of an entree. All the food tasted as they should. I've definitely had better versions of both the fish/chips and chicken Alfredo but they were still decent. I will definitely come back when in this area and try out some of the other dishes that I couldn't try this time around.

    I had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and I got the sampler appetizer with fried pickles,

    The quality and the care that they take making their food is top-notch. The ingredients are always fresh. You can tell freshly cut Texas caviar I love it. I had chicken fried steak and it was perfection. Lee was my server and he was so attentive I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Oh, in the bathrooms were pretty clean.

    What was ordered: Classic Cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, and red onion, special sauce.

    I ordered two Classic Cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, and red onion, special sauce. What was received was: 2 dry burgers! No cheese, no veggies, no seasoning, with a side of cold fries that weren't even edible! I was so very disappointed that I could actually cry! Oh, to add insult to injury they were nice enough to throw in 2 dry rolls to accompany our dry burgers!

    Seafood platter , shrimp okay catfish salty very little French fries

    Well, let's say Sunday evening about 4:45 PM and the place is kind of dead, not busy lots open tables. I'm sitting here waiting for my daughter and grandson to celebrate her birthday that was yesterday. What's she arrived? She was greeted by our server and she immediately ordered an appetizer of chicken, fried bacon, and her drink and kids drink . Our other party ordered a lemonade. here we go so three adults one child and here we go . The appetizers seem like it took forever to arrive once it did it was fresh crispy, and pretty tasty . A few minutes later, we placed our orders and my daughter ordered beef tips with a few sides. I ordered the seafood platter and other Party guess ordered a simple yam. As time went by and remembered this place is not even busy. It's hard to see who's in charge because nobody seems to be taking the lead looking around not a lot of activity among the servers. It's pretty pretty bland. Knowing that our food is taking much longer than expected our server brought over a basket of hot rolls on the house, which is very nice of him and refilled our drinks . Finally would seem like 35 or 40 minutes later are on entrees arrived minus the yam for other party which he said was still being made a baked potato style item that came out last unbelievable. At this point, she did not even want the yam as we were eating our main dishes and it still hasn't arrived. It wasn't until we were almost done that they finally arrived and he apologized. She just took it to go.. As for the beef tips, very disappointing my daughter said they were tough no flavor and there was a french fry inside of it hiding which you can see in the picture. The macaroni and cheese side was nothing greater than typical kraft macaroni It seemed and the mashed potatoes were just kind of hard and not even fresh . As for mine, the catfish and fried shrimp tasted mostly like oil from the fryer. The shrimp were kind of bad they were OK. I guess the dumpling side was actually probably the best thing that me and my daughter both liked the other sides of mac & cheese again weren't that great and dried out . The catfish was very salty and I even gave away my jalapeño poppers so I got no feedback on those to the other party guest who ate them and they were average. Bottom line if you're not in the hurry, then this is the place for you but having a lack of management presence and the urgency of the kitchen to get things out much faster is terrible. Our server did the best I think to handle it as best that he could, even though at the end I had to remind him the kids meal came with a cookie, and I was overcharged an extra Pepsi that was refillable on the check that I caught before I had to pay Total cost $70 probably not gonna visit this place again and head over to Cracker Barrel 2 stars

    Chicken fried steak, green beans, garlic mashed potatoes, and two gravy containers.

Drink orders came soon after. We ordered a fried oyster po boy (which came with fries) and a 2 Taceaux plate (which came with fries and a 2nd side. I chose fried okra.) We finished it off with an order of beignets. The po boy came with 8 nicely-sized (and, importantly, fresh) oysters and a large portion of seasoned shoestring fries. My 2 blackened shrimp tacos were very tasty. The fries tasted good, but weren't at all crispy. The okra tasted good but was lukewarm. The beignets tasted good but were the consistency of a donut rather than being light and airy. The menu is quite extensive, and we had a tough time choosing what to order. I saw a large bowl of gumbo at an adjacent table, and that almost made me choose gumbo for my entrée. The eating area has a kitchsy decor fitting of the food genre. Seating was comfortable and service was excellent. This was a great experience that made me want to return for dinner next time, maybe during happy hour so I can order one of their great appetizers. We will be back before very long.

The young lady at the register left quickly when we approached, and when I asked if we could dine in, she told us there was no room. That felt unusual, but we decided to order takeout. While placing the order, she mentioned there were plumbing issues and something was overflowing, which raised another concern about the cleanliness of the environment. She also seemed anxious and unprofessional during the interaction. We were told the food would take about 15 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 30-45 minutes. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations, especially for the price. The oxtails, rice, greens, and macaroni and cheese were around $36. The okra looked like it had been refried, and the chicken wings tasted as though they were cooked in old grease. The greens had an unusual flavor, and the macaroni and cheese did not taste like traditional mac and cheese. The oxtails were messy but not tender. Based on the lack of professionalism, the long wait, and the overall quality of the food, I do not plan to return.

They were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of vinegar and cooked to that ideal tender texture without being mushy. The fried chicken and catfish were outstanding. Both were well seasoned, incredibly crispy, and tasted like they were fried in fresh grease. Every bite was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The baked macaroni and cheese was good, but it leaned a little more toward a Velveeta-style cheese sauce than my personal preference. Still a solid 9/10. I also ordered the Peach Passion Fruit Hennessy margarita, and it was superb. Smooth, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the prices were very reasonable, and the portions were generous. If you're looking for authentic soul food in Austin, The Rolling Rooster is absolutely worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.
